...simply do what we want and ignore others. We must take other people rights into consideration. The idea behind freedom is to be respectful and useful to our society. Freedom is important to everyone. If someone is derived from this innate right, he will definitely feel as if he is not a respectful human being. When freedom is guaranteed, I can think freely, go where i want, say my opinion without fear from people who would not like my opinion. Freedom of opinion is among the most important branches of freedom .In some societies where freedom of opinion is not guaranteed by the authority, the creativity of mind is killed and buried. Society is the largest and biggest loser from this lack of creativity. Someone once said, Freedom of opinion will never result in animosity among people if they respect each other. As I mentioned earlier, freedom is not an absolute right, and there are too many constraints on it. Firstly, the society rights including national security which is very important. Security is as important as freedom. Our practicing of freedom should never lead to threatening our national security. Secondly, freedom of belief, to believe in what you want and chooses your...

...Marts, 2011 Line-item budgeting and film production – Exploring some benefits of constraints on creativity and aesthetic value creation Thomas Frandsen, Ivar Friis, and Allan Hansen*) Solbjerg Plads 3 2000 Frederiksberg Copenhagen Business School Denmark *) Corresponding author: ah.om@cbs.dk Early work – Please do not quote without the permission from the authors Paper to be presented at the workshop on Creativity and Control Sponsored by Accounting Organizations and Society 4–5 April 2011, Barcelona, Spain Abstract: This paper explores the role of budgeting in the Danish film industry and seeks to illustrate the positive effects a line-budget might have on the creativity and innovativeness in film production. In our analysis we provide illustrative examples of the enabling and facilitating role of budget constraints on film production from the Danish film industry in general as well as from a case study of the process of making the Danish film “The Island of Lost Souls” in particular. We draw on Elster (2000)’s constraint theory and suggest that the constraints imposed on agents by line-item budgeting under some circumstances lead to situations where ‘less is more’ as line-item budgeting might be used to focus creative behavior as well as pre-commit the agent against passion and time inconsistency. 1 I. Introduction The dysfunctional consequences of constraints imposed by budgets on agents dealing with uncertain, complex or dynamic organizational...

...Problem-Solving Mary Callaway, Bridgett Jones, Diane Redmond, and Sandra Solis PSYCH/560 March 19, 2012 Isabelle Ragsdale Problem-Solving Problem-solving requires many components to achieve the result such as identifying the problem, what the problem represents creativity, approach, and many more. A few of the approaches of problem-solving, which aid in uncovering a solution are a few of the following, such as unidentified assessment, procedure, technique, and the arrangement of the problem. Problem-solving occurs in every area of life because problems occur in daily life. Insight and creativity in problem-solving allow the person to use imagination, critical thinking skills, and creativity to develop a solution to his or her problem. Therefore, insight and creativity are two important factors in problem-solving. The constraints of a problem depend upon problem representation to uncover ways to solve the problem. In addition, problem representation forces a person to empower his or her cognitive skills to investigate problems. Analyzing the abilities and functions of reasoning, judgment, and decision-making in problem-solving process occurs to determine the existence of new measures in the decision and reasoning approaches in the search for ethical solutions. The ethical solutions in problem-solving guarantee the results are trustworthy and accurate. Therefore, the need for accurate problem-solving skills is a necessity to find solutions to problems people experience. Approaches...

...dismantled to achieve freedom.” “I know why the caged bird sings” – seven striking words uttered from the lips of none other than Maya Angelou. When one hears these words, several others flood the forefront of the mind: sorrow, captivity and solitude are most prominent. Delving deeper into the subliminal message, one could easily identify that the bird represents the individual whose freedom is being restrained while the cage, the conforming society to which the individual belongs. These words figuratively speak to restriction of the individual within the confines of the “cage” which is “made” from: societal norms, values and traditions. Going outside of this “cage” is not an option and limits the desires, freedom, creativity and expression of the individual’s being. The same holds true in Como agua para chocolate, where donde hay patron, no manda marinero. How, then, can one say that traditional values allow for the full expression of an individual? Traditional values constrain the individual and must be dismantled to achieve freedom. The novel explores several themes, one of which is domination. Domination is the exercise of control or influence over someone or something. In Como agua para chocolate, domination tends to have negative connotations. Mamá Elena, the mother of Tita, upholds her stance as head of the household with sheer force and power. She is not to be questioned and her word is understood to be edict.

...Computer graphics designer Name University of Maryland University College 08 October 2013 Computer graphics designer Graphic designers create visual concepts, by hand or using computer software, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, or captivate consumers. They help to make an organization recognizable by selecting color, images, or logo designs that represent a particular idea or identity to be used in advertising and promotions. The digital media and Web technology major is the career that feed my passion, because this career will help me prepare in the field of digital design. I know that this professional field is the correct career for me, because according to the Learning Evaluation and Assessment Directory I took in the EDCP 100 Module Learning Preferences, my best learning style is Tactile, where my strengths have to do with everything that involve engaging physically learning. Therefore, is a fact that I’m a "hands-on learner" which means that I should look for a career where I can use my learning by doing style. I could separate my dreams in two kinds. First will be the dreams that I will like to achieve for my family and second the dreams I will like to achieve professionally work wise. For instances, my family dreams are been able to buy my mother a home and make her life comfortable. I want to be able to provide my wife and children with a good living.

...The Art Of Auditing Internal Auditor, August, 2000 by Lawrence Metzger "Creativity" and "auditor" are not contradictory terms. In fact, creative thinking is the linchpin of effective internal auditing--and it's a skill you can learn and polish. The work of internal auditors is as much an art as it is a science or technique. The internal audit process encompasses far more than a series of rote checklists; it is much more akin to an archeological dig, where layers of information are methodically uncovered. To connect and understand the layers of organizations, the internal auditor must be able to think creatively. Not only is creativity an inherent aspect of successful internal auditing, but it has become a hot, sought-after commodity in all fields. In his book Jamming, John Kao observes that we are living in an age of creativity. He argues, for example, that global competition is increasingly about a company's ability to mobilize its ideas, talents, and creative abilities. Kao maintains, along with other observers, that companies will increasingly be measured by their knowledge, and he emphasizes that creativity is the crucial variable in the process of turning knowledge into value. Knowledge is more than mastery of facts and data; it is also insight-the ability to see into a situation and make connections. Ideas are interconnected insights that we can grab and run with. And it is creativity that enables the transformation of one form of knowledge to the next. Kao states that...

...TASK 601.5.5-02, 5.6-05 Western Governors University June 18, 2012 A teacher’s expectations can greatly impact how well a student does in a classroom. If a teacher demonstrates expectations in rational and positive manner, the student is more likely to excel in the classroom. However, if a teacher has a negative outlook and does not let the students know exactly what is expected, the classroom will not run as smooth and the students’ grades might be poor. There are many expectations that would positively influence student achievement. The five that will be covered in this paper are arriving on time and prepared, positive communication with classmates and the teacher, completing a reading log each night, turning assignments in on time, and paying attention in class. When addressing a fourth grade classroom, asking students to arrive on time and be prepared would be an expectation that would influence a student’s academic achievement. There are many reasons why it is important for students to arrive to class on time. First of all, a fourth grade classroom is busy and has a full day of activities each day. Arriving late would cause a student to not only miss out on an important morning activity, but it would be disruptive to other students who are moving on to their next assignment. The same is said when asking a student to come to class prepared. The unprepared student is not only taking valuable time out of his or her day, but that of his classmates....

...of. Volunteering and helping others is one of my many passions. During the summers, I enjoy working as a lifeguard and participating with my town pool’s competitive dive team. After being in school for ten months, the summer is an invigorating time to be outside and be physically active in warm weather sports. My diverse interests are outlets where I can express myself and alleviate stress from my rigorous academic schedule. I cultivated a love for reading that started in second grade, and grows with each passing day. As I mature, so does the variety of books I read, including novels, autobiographies, and philosophy books; in addition, I like reading about current events so that I may stay abreast of pivotal moments in history, which allows me to make informed and educated decisions. Vacationing at Walt Disney World has always been pleasurable. Ever since the first time I traveled to Disney and entered the Animation Studios, I have been allured by drawing. Drawing allows me to express my creativity, work independently without time constraints outside of an academic setting. I derive joy from seeing my personal identity represented in my sketches. Every activity that I do offers me a different perspective on life and makes me more open-minded to exploring other ventures in the future. My altruistic, creative and inquisitive nature is exhibited in many of the activities in which I participate. ...

...IDEO - Organizational Behavior Evaluation ORG 711 02/11/06 Organizations need to be cognizant of what type of organizational design is best for the survival and growth of the organization through the years. Factors affecting the organization are in continual flux throughout time, and the design or structure best suited for any organization is stringently tested over time. Much thought and research is required at the onset of developing organizations. Periodic assessment or review of the organizational design is also beneficial. It could be the difference between survival or failure for the organization. One organization whose design strategy has withstood the test of time is IDEO, “a private design consulting firm headquartered in Palo Alto, CA” (Shaughnessy, 2002, p. 50). Its organizational design, as well as the performance of this design, is examined and recommendations provided for future organizations that enter into the same field. Evaluation of Overall Organizational Design IDEO, originally known as David Kelley Design, began in 1978, and merged with ID Two in 1991 (Nussbaum, 2004) when it became known as IDEO. It has been an innovative company from its inception and has been extremely successful as well (Nussbaum, 2004). IDEO has been the recipient of numerous awards through the years, including the National Design Award (Shaughnessy, 2002), (Perry, 1995).

...quilling, constructor’s quilling, loop based quilling, and Quillography. Yulia Brodskaya for example uses both classic quilling and the highly advance and professional quilling style Quillography to create stunning illustrations. Quillers today have nearly limitless choice of colors, tools, and accessories to handle precise craftsmanship. An example of a contemporary quilling artwork would be the 2016 USPS Love Stamp that was released January by Brodskaya. Yulia Brodskaya loves paper and the art style quilling inspires unique ways to experiment with the paper to improve her craft. Brodskaya interest in portraying the elderly with quilling is a personal project, which conveys the theme of death and mortality. Her personal interest is not about what happens after, but in the aspects of old age and that is clearly written on the face. Quilling was an excellent medium to create the wrinkles and due to the limitations of the technique, Brodskaya started a series in an attempt to overcome the limitations. After a few years experimenting with portrays, the feeling of constraints from the medium were no longer evident and the ability to bring color, detail, and the tactile feel of paper show the preservation of emotion. In complete honestly, Brodskaya’s work are breathtaking, amazingly detailed, and elegant which still makes it difficult to process the drive to toil in quilling. Brodskaya’s Portraits carefully captures the emotion of the model without losing the tale behind the piece...

Only one thing is constant in their lives and that is change – ISFPs love exploring and embracing new things, ideas and activities. They are very good at sensing such opportunities, but the ISFP personality traits also push them towards experimenting and coming up with ideas that no one has thought of before. ISFPs usually find it easy to set new trends and inspire other people – their penchant for experimentation is unmatched by any other personality type. This personality trait is connected with ISFPs’ love of freedom – ISFPs are very independent and fiercely resist all forms of control. People with this personality type are the ultimate “free souls”, seeing nearly all rules, guidelines and traditions as self-imposed limitations that make life dull and boring. ISFPs live completely in the present, refusing to dwell on the past or prepare extensive plans for the future – they take things as they come, experimenting and adapting their behavior as necessary.

...Running Head: A practical approach to culture Nadya Munnings-Pratt Barry University (Nassau Cohort) HRD 645 Module 3 July 23th 2015 Introduction Organizational culture encompasses values and behaviors that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of an organization. Culture includes the organization's vision, values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits (Christiansen, B. and Koeman, J., 2015). In a practical approach, culture is something an organization “has” and is seen as a variable that can be managed by its leaders. This paper will explore my place of employment; Doctors Hospital and some of the elements of its culture. A practical approach to culture Doctors Hospital employs over 500 and we recently underwent a culture shift. Funds were invested in a foreign consultancy company that came in and worked to revamp our culture. According to Schein (1992), culture is the most difficult organizational attribute to change. His organizational model illuminates culture from the standpoint of the observer, described at three levels: artifacts, espoused values and basic underlying assumptions. At the first level of Schein's model is organizational attributes that can be seen, felt and heard by the inexperienced observer known as artifacts. From the moment you walk into Doctors Hospital you will notice a very large dated painting of the founders of the hospital. There are multiple desks in the foyer to greet customers...
